Sunday Stash Report, December 10, 2023

Katerskill is assembled into rows.  Next up the rows.  I only need time to do this task.  I wonder if I wish hard enough that Santa Claus will bring me sewing time...wouldn't that be wonderful?  The last row is pinned to the its row above, which is why you see some tips popping above it.  The design calls only for side borders, but I don't like that look.  Mine will have top and bottom borders.  It also finishes with a white binding.  Not sure about a white binding.  I am considering a blue to match the HSTs.  There is some time for this decision.  What would you do?

I am off today to see the American Ballet Company perform the Nutcracker.  This will be a new experience for me.  I am told the Company is one of the best and the Choreographer one of the best also.  I am looking forward to the costumes of course picking up my past talent of making costumes for dancers.

All the pieced blocks are assembled now.  It is time next for sewing the blocks into rows.  I hope to get to it this week.  Perhaps there will be a finish this year.  I really like this project, but it is time to move on to the next one.

Meanwhile in my TV comfy chair the Ducks cross stitch work continues with the completion of the second block.  Dancing Duck knows how to strut the stuff!  The third one of this project of 12 starts this week.  Check out the Kite Flying Duck's progress next week.

Happy week everyone =^.^=

Sunday Stash Report, December 3, 2023

 

Finished the Little Red Truck tree skirt.  With the addition of the outer print border and the "snow" it ended up with a size that worked under the tree.  Kosmo is showing off!

The 2023 Jolly Box arrived from Fat Quarter Quilt Shop.  This box has a cute project that is candy canes with bows.  There will be a need for a background; not so certain I want the suggested denim blue cotton.  The fabric pack is too light for white and there is a lot of red...hmmm.  I have the charm on my purse and the thread ready to use.  The pins and needles will certainly be used.  The last item are holiday potholders; not really my thing.  All in all it was a good mystery box.

This bag of buttons from my Mom (with many of them starting from me) allowed me to make some holiday ornaments.  They will be placed on the tree that will be used at the Crest Craft Fair where Sunshine Quilt Guild will have a booth.  

I really like the trees, not so sure about the icicles.  I also donated a few other ornaments to help fill up the tree.  Met up with Kathy on Saturday to pass them off as I will be attending the Nutcracker ballet in Orange County the day of the craft show.

Nothing rotates the numbers this week.  Katerskill continues assembly.
